Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the PerfectGiftCard?
The PerfectGiftCard is the ultimate gift certificate card. Unlike gift certificates from stores or malls, the PerfectGiftCard can be used anywhere VISA debit cards are accepted, at millions of locations worldwide and online. So take the stress out of choosing the perfect gift, and give your family and friends a gift they're sure to love and use.
- How does it work?
The PerfectGiftCard comes embossed with the recipient's name on the front of the card. Even though the PerfectGiftCard is not a credit card, it can be used for purchases just like a credit card, at any merchant who accepts VISA debit cards, up to the amount available on the card. At some merchant terminals after the card has been swiped, the user may be prompted to select "debit" or "credit". Because a personal identification number (PIN) will not be issued with the PerfectGiftCard, it's important to select "credit". No transactions requiring a PIN will be accepted.
- Can more than one recipient's name be on the PerfectGiftCard?
No. Each PerfectGiftCard is personalized for one user.
- Are there any restrictions on who may be issued a PerfectGiftCard?
The PerfectGiftCard may be purchased for everyone, no matter what age, and makes an ideal gift for teenagers.
- What are the different denominations for the PerfectGiftCard? What are the shipping and handling fees for each denomination?
The PerfectGiftCard is available in six denominations: $25, $50, $75, $100, $250 and $500. The shipping and handling fees are $5.95 per card for gift cards of $25 - $250 and $7.95 per card for gift cards of $500.
- How will the recipient know the amount of the gift?
The amount of the gift will not be displayed on the face of the PerfectGiftCard. A card mailer which accompanies the PerfectGiftCard will indicate the amount of the gift.
- How long is the PerfectGiftCard good for?
The PerfectGiftCard is good for six months from the date of issuance. The last date of funds availability is clearly embossed on each gift card. Remember, that unlike other gift certificates and gift cards, the PerfectGiftCard is accepted virtually everywhere and may be used to purchase anything.
- Can the PerfectGiftCard be used for online purchases?
Yes, and many online shoppers prefer to shop with a prepaid card, like the PerfectGiftCard, for security reasons. When shopping by mail, phone or online, it's important to remember that the "billing address" to be provided is the address where the card was sent. Either the purchaser or gift recipient.
- What if the purchase is less than the balance on the PerfectGiftCard?
Any remaining balance can be applied toward future purchases.
- What if the purchase is more than the balance on the card?
The merchant can only process the purchase for the amount available on the card. Otherwise, the transaction will be declined. If the purchase is for more that the balance on the card, the merchant must be informed before the transaction is processed of the amount available on the card. The difference may be paid by cash, credit card or a personal check, subject to the policy of the merchant. To help avoid a purchase transaction from being declined, the cardholder should obtain the balance remaining on the card prior to making the purchase. If card use exceeds the balance remaining on the card, a $25 fee may be billed.
- How does a cardholder track his/her balance?
An automated voice response system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help the cardholder track the balance on the card. This system can provide up-to-date information on balance and transaction detail. The cardholder may also want to keep a log of his purchases to help him track the balance on the card.
- What if the recipient wants cash from the card?
Cash can be obtained with the card by requesting a cash advance at any bank office that accepts VISA debit cards, or a check may be requested from 5Star Bank. A fee of 2% of the amount advanced or $5, whichever is greater, will be charged for the cash advance and subtracted from the card's remaining balance. If a check is requested, a $15 check issuance fee will be subtracted from the card's remaining balance.
- What happens if the PerfectGiftCard is lost or stolen?
The PerfectGiftCard works like cash and should be treated like cash. If reported lost or stolen prior to the funds being depleted, a new card may be issued for a fee of $8.95.
- How can the PerfectGiftCard be purchased?
